Bible verse : Genesis 1:1 (NIV)
In the beginning God created the heavens and
the earth.
|

|
|
The
beginning of the Old and New Testaments is written like this.
¡°In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth¡±
The triune God directly created all the worlds and people in which we live.

Genesis
1 records in detail how God created the world. Before God made this world,
the world was not as organized as it is now.
The world was empty, devoid of living things, and darkness covered the deep
waters. Only the Spirit of God was moving over the water.
|
5
|
|
God
spoke to this dark and empty world. ¡°Let there be light!¡± When God's word was
finished, light came into being. God saw the light and was very pleased with
it.
|
6
|
|
God
divided the light from the darkness.
He called the light day and the darkness he called night.
God created light on the first day and divided the light from the darkness.
|

|
|
On
the second day, God commanded the world through His Word.
¡°Let there be a round expanse in the middle of the water, and divide the
water in two.¡± When God finished speaking, a huge round expanse was created.
It was divided into water above space and water below space. God called the
space above heaven.
|

|
On the third day, God gave a command through the
Word. ¡°Let the waters under the sky be gathered together to one place, and
let the dry land appear¡±
As
God said, the dry land appeared and became the land, and the waters gathered in one place and became the
sea. God saw the scene and was very
pleased with it.
|

|
|
God
spoke to the earth. ¡°Let the earth produce grass, plants bearing seed, and
trees bearing fruit with seeds of all kinds.¡± As God said, the earth produced
grass, plants bearing seeds, and fruit trees bearing seeds, all of their own
kind.
Seeing this, God was greatly satisfied.
|

On
the fourth day, God commanded by word. ¡°Let there be lights in the sky to
separate the day and the night, and to distinguish the seasons, the days and
the years. Those floating in outer space should emit light from the sky to
illuminate the earth.¡± This word also came true.
Among the lights that God made, He made a great light to rule the day and a
small light to rule the night. He placed innumerable stars in the sky and
caused them to shine on the earth. This appearance was also very satisfactory
in the eyes of God.
|

|
|
The
fifth day came. God also commanded through the Word, ¡°Let the water produce
many moving creatures. Birds fly in the sky above the land.¡±
God spoke, and countless kinds of birds began to fly in the sky. And in the
sea, sea animals large and small began to swim. Seeing this, God was very
satisfied.
|
12
|
|
On
the sixth day, God commanded by word. ¡°Let the earth put forth all kinds of
living things. Cattle, creeping things, and wild animals according to their
kind.¡±
According to God's word, various kinds of beasts were created on the earth.
All kinds of wild beasts, livestock, and creeping creatures were created on
the earth.
Seeing this, God was very satisfied.
|
13
|
|
On
this day, the triune God created another special being. ¡°Let us make man in
our image and likeness.
So let men rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and
over all kinds of livestock and over the wild animals and over every living
thing that creeps on the ground.¡±
|
14
|
|
The
triune God, who made everything in the world, created man on the sixth day.
The first man was molded by himself from clay. God breathed the breath of
life into his nostrils. At that moment, the man made of clay became a living
being in the form of a man. And God created a woman from a man's rib.
|
15
|
|
God
blessed them and said, ¡°Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. conquer
the land Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the sky and over
every living thing that moves on the ground.¡±
He also gave them all kinds of plants and fruits that God created as food.
When God saw what he had created on the sixth day, his heart was satisfied.
|
16
|
|
God,
who created all these things, directly created a day of rest, the Sabbath, on
the seventh day. God set the seventh day as a special blessed day and made it
a day for all of us to give thanks for everything God has created and exalt
Him alone.
|
17
|
|
The
whole world we live in is a creation God created with His Word in 6 days.
Whenever we see this world that God has made, we must think of God's grace
and be thankful. Also, according to the word that God created man and
commanded, we must conquer and rule all things in this world to give glory to
God.
Lastly, you must keep the Sabbath day well and become a person who receives
and enjoys God's blessings.
